I just can't risk your life. The girl sighed as she looked at him, his heart a wallow of emotions she could never dare to understand, never try to fathom. Her simple soul was nothing compared to his ancient mind, but somehow they fit together. Like the day and the night, they were opposites, and yet they complimented one another. And as it was always said that you cannot appreciate the dawn without the night, Kahlua could never have appreciated this stallion's bottomless depression if she herself had not been so shallow, so thoughtless. They were bread and butter. But what can butter do to change the grain of bread? She was powerless. Butter with aspirations is useless. And yet she had tried. As he came towards her, she graciously accepted the touch of his tail, the velvet of his nose against her. I will never not be your friend. She sighed again, but this time in happiness, some of her fears allayed. Of course, she did not understand what he was talking about. A journey? Them? She looked at him quizzically, shuddering as another blast of cold air beat against her shoulder and the stallion walked away. For a moment she started to follow, to demand he didn't leave, but she knew in her heart that her words were wind against an Oak. Branches may quiver, but the Oak would stand strong. So she stared at the sky, watching the stars with childish eyes, until he surprised her and came back. His flower settled easily into her mane and she nicked softly. “It's beautiful,” she complimented his choice, letting silence settle between them a moment. “Where will you go? What will you do?” Her voice was gentle now, no longer demanding or frightened. She was curious, perhaps even a hint of encouragement found in the tones of her dancing soprano. And though she did not understand the desire to disappear, to cleanse your soul with a mission, she could finally see that he would not be whole without it. He needed this like she needed air. And she could not suffocate him. |
